Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 114 / Friday, June 13, 2014 / Proposed Rules 33877 

aFor editorial reasons, upon codification in the 

U.S. Code, Part B was re-designated Part A. 

bAll references to EPCA in this document refer 

to the statute as amended through the American 

Energy Manufacturing Technical Corrections Act 

(AEMTCA), Public Law 112–210 (Dec. 18, 2012). 

are kept informed of the negotiations 

and encouraged to make their concerns 

known in a timely fashion. 

G. Working Group and Schedule 

After evaluating the comments 

submitted in response to this notice of 

intent and the requests for nominations, 

DOE will either inform the members of 

the working group of their selection or 

determine that conducting a negotiated 

rulemaking is inappropriate. 

DOE will advise working group 

members of administrative matters 

related to the functions of the working 

group before beginning. DOE will 

establish a meeting schedule based on 

the settlement agreement and produce 

the necessary documents so as to adhere 

to that schedule. While the negotiated 

rulemaking process is underway, DOE is 

committed to performing much of the 

same analysis as it would during a 

normal rulemaking process and to 

providing information and technical 

support to the working group. 

IV. Comments Requested 

DOE requests comments on which 

parties should be included in a 

negotiated rulemaking to develop draft 

language pertaining to the energy 

efficiency of manufactured housing and 

suggestions of additional interests and/ 

or stakeholders that should be 

represented on the working group. All 

who wish to participate as members of 

the working group should submit a 

request for nomination to DOE. 

V. Approval of the Office of the 

Secretary 

The Secretary of Energy has approved 

publication of today’s notice of 

proposed rulemaking. 

Issued in Washington, DC, on June 9, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title III, 

Part Ba of the Energy Policy and 

Conservation Act of 1975 (EPCA or the 

Act), Public Law 94–163, (42 U.S.C. 

6291–6309, as codified) sets forth a 

variety of provisions designed to 

improve energy efficiency and 

established the Energy Conservation 

Program for Consumer Products Other 

Than Automobiles, a program covering 

major household appliances 

(collectively referred to as ‘‘covered 

products’’).b Part C of title III (42 U.S.C. 

6311–6317) establishes an energy 

conservation program for certain 

industrial and commercial equipment. 

EPCA authorizes DOE to establish 

technologically feasible, economically 

justified energy conservation standards 

for covered products or equipment that 

would be likely to result in significant 

national energy savings. (42 U.S.C. 

6295(o)(2)(B)(i)(I)–(VII)) 

Section 136(d) of the Energy Policy 

Act of 2005 (EPACT 2005), Public Law 

109–58, amended EPCA to prescribe 

energy conservation standards for some 

automatic commercial ice-makers. (42 

U.S.C. 6313(d)(1)) The EPACT 2005 

amendments (42 U.S.C. 6313(d)(2)) also 

authorize DOE to issue standards for 

types of automatic commercial ice 

makers that are not covered by 42 U.S.C. 

6313(d)(1). In addition, not later than 

January 1, 2015, with respect to the 

standards at 42 U.S.C. 6313(d)(1), and 

not later than 5 years after the effective 

date of any standards issued by DOE 

under 42 U.S.C. 6313(d)(2), DOE is to 

issue a final rule to determine whether 

amending the applicable standards is 

technologically feasible and 

economically justified. (42 U.S.C. 

6313(d)(3)(A)) To this end, DOE 

initiated an energy conservation

standard rulemaking for automatic 

commercial ice makers by publishing a 

notice of proposed meeting and 

availability of the framework document 

on November 19, 2010. 75 FR 70852. 

DOE published a notice of proposed 

rulemaking proposing energy 

conservation standards for automatic 

commercial ice makers on March 17, 

2014 (here after referred to as the March 

2014 NOPR). 79 FR 14846. 

In response to the publication of the 

March 2014 NOPR, stakeholders 

continue to submit questions regarding 

the energy model that DOE used to 

assess the energy efficiency and 

performance of automatic commercial 

ice makers as part of the engineering 

analysis. (See, for example, AirConditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration 

Institute, No. 93 at p. 5) In order to 

facilitate an additional review of the 

model, gather additional feedback and 

data on the energy model, and to allow 

for a more thorough explanation of 

DOE’s use of the model in the 

engineering analysis, DOE is holding 

this public meeting. During the meeting, 

DOE expects to explain the details of the 

model, go through example simulations, 

describe how the model was used and 

calibrated as part of the engineering 

analysis conducted for the March 2014 

model, and answer questions about the 

model from interested parties. At the 

public meeting, DOE will make 

presentations and invite discussion on 

the energy model. All of the feedback 

and data gathered during the public 

meeting will be used in consideration of 

any reanalysis conducted as part of the 

rulemaking. 

The public meeting will be conducted 

in an informal, facilitated, conference 

style. There shall be no discussion of 

proprietary information, costs or prices, 

market shares, or other commercial 

matters regulated by U.S. antitrust laws. 

A court reporter will record the 

proceedings of the public meeting, after 

which a transcript will be available for 

purchase from the court reporter and 

placed on the DOE Web site at: http:// 

www1.eere.energy.gov/buildings/ 

appliance_standards/rulemaking.aspx/ 

ruleid/29. 

Any person wishing to bring a laptop 

computer into the Forrestal Building 

will be required to obtain a property 

pass. Visitors should avoid bringing 

laptops, or allow an extra 45 minutes. 

Please note that foreign nationals 

planning to participate in the public 

meeting are subject to advance security 

screening procedures. If a foreign 

national wishes to participate in the 

public meeting, please inform DOE of 

this fact as soon as possible by 

contacting Ms. Brenda Edwards at (202) 

586–2945 so that the necessary 

procedures can be completed. 

DOE considers public participation to 

be a very important part of the process 

for determining whether to amend 

energy conservation standards and, if 

so, in setting those amended standards. 

DOE actively encourages the 

participation and interaction of the 

public during the rulemaking process. 

Interactions with and among members 

of the public provide a balanced 

discussion of the issues to assist DOE in 

the standards rulemaking process. 

Accordingly, anyone who wishes to 

participate in the public meeting or be 

added to the DOE mailing list to receive 

future notices and information about 

this rulemaking should contact Ms. 

Brenda Edwards at (202) 586–2945, or 

via email at
